- Use the table to answer the question. Three tomato plants vary in the shape of their leaves: A has smooth edges on its leaves, B has wavy edges on its leaves, and C has smooth edges with bumps in the center of the leaf. Their genomes are the presence of three siRNAs as shown in the table below. Each plant is also tested to see if it is susceptible to attack by herbivorous beetles. Part A: Identify the role of each siRNA. Explain how the siRNAs do their jobs. Part B: Decipher the connection between the phenotypes and susceptibility to beetles and explain how you deciphered this.arrow_forwardbeavers build dom in a streamarrow_forwardWhat is the function of color in the flower and the peacock?
